Trident Motorsports, WHO... What about Roush, Borla, Flowmaster, Trident Motorsports who, Trident makes and manufactures axle back mufflers for the Ford Mustang automobile line. I stumbled on Trident from a Mustang forum and my interest peaked when forum members compared Trident to Roush, hmmmm
This is my first review, on a Trident product, the review is really on the company because no matter what you buy, a pack of gum, a car or axle back mufflers, you are really buying the company first then the product second...
I did a search on the company and found Trident Motorsports, I went right to the mufflers and WOW they did look like Roush, Trident had thick walled tips, rolled tips, polished stainless and black mufflers, they were very cool looking, so I went right to the contact page on the website put my info in and asked some questions.
I got a reply from Ray, Ray is one of the co founders of the company and head of R&D, have you ever gone this far up on a contact form and spoke to an OWNER of a company and he took his time answering all my questions. What really struck me about Ray is when I asked, WHY should I buy from you...
Here is Ray's response:
"our Mustang products are relatively new to the market but our sister company and manufacturer have been building quality parts since 2008.
As for the quality of our exhaust, the welds and quality of the steel are where most companies cut corners. Simply put, we don't. Our exhaust should outlast your car, we offer a one year warranty against manufacturing defects.
If you consider the low cost and higher quality of our products, it should help with your decision. If I can do anything else to help please let me know."
Please note, emails where answered on a Sunday around 4pm NOT the next business day answered the same day.
This is what sold me on Trident Motorsports, an owner standing up for his product and being honest and forthright about his product line, the tone of Ray's email was on very serious side, I was sold on Trident Motorsports and purchased my polished thick walled mufflers and waited.
I did not have to wait too long as Trident shipped my mufflers via FedEx, 2nd day, that's 2 DAYS and they even arrived on Saturday. I had already taken my stock mufflers off the car and while taking the last stock muffler off, Fedex shows up with a white box around 25lbs, I sliced the taped and opened the box to reveal the polished mufflers wrapped in bubble wrap, the hangers wrapped in foam, the clamps for the tips and pipes wrapped in plastic and the tips wrapped in bubble wrap and when they say polished, they should say mirror polished.
Trident is serious about their quality of their manufacturing and it shows in their packaging.
I installed the mufflers and tips and they went very smoothly and was anxious to start the car and I remembered, an email reply from Ray...
"Our V6 exhaust has been described as exotic..."
Sure, lets hear them....
WOW, WOW they sound AWESOME!!!!
Can you compare Trident to Roush, Borla and Flowmaster...sure but it is a dis-service to do so as they are really in class all their own.
BTW, they are made in Texas and remember Don't mess with Texas
Trident Motorsports not WHO any more not a pretender but a true contender in an arena filled with heavy name hitters
Here's Ray's email, you can email and HE will get back to you
